Nina Parsons studied fine art at Goldsmiths University, and after graduating in 2022, continued to make work from her home in Surrey. In her work, the formal elements of art, particularly shape, colour, and composition, are exaggerated and explored through the materiality of paint. Using domestic scenes and objects as a source of inspiration, she selects shapes from a flattened perspective, reimagining their form as untamed suggestions of their original shape. Informed by Matisse and the Fauvist movement, Parsons enjoys painting with a heightened awareness of colour, using bold colour choice to create a sense of warmth, nostalgia and playfulness. In doing so, she aims to evoke the child-like wonder and innocence of viewing one's surroundings with fresh, curious eyes.
